Have got the Orchid suites at the moment as cover, stayed there with my wife in Feb-08. This year will be with our 2 daughters and the eldest's partner, could be our last family hol, due to 'kids' ages etc. While the Orchid is excellent as a hotel base for Hollywood, it requires us to pay the room rate at the end of the stay, and with the current collapse of sterling was hoping to pay now at the current exchange rate. Have countered this currently by loading a pre-paid travel card. So in an ideal world would want a 4* in Hollywood that added with parking charges can at best equal Orchid suites or less. as for other zones, my eldest daughter who has never been to LA before wants to visit walk of fame, Universal studios etc, so if anyone has any suggestions for other zones etc. then please reply with you ideas. Sorry for the long-winded life story/ family history etc, and many thanks in advance.
